In addition to the mutual excitement that both Marvel/Oswalt fans and Oswalt himself have over this announcement (when asked to guest star, Oswalt replied, “hell, yes”), this might be the natural result of the famous Star Wars rant that Patton pulled off during his citizen filibuster on Parks and Recreation. You might remember (or can familiarize yourself with it here) that Patton suggests Thanos be able to jump between the Marvel Universe and Star Wars Universe through the power of the Infinity Gauntlet.

If it won’t happen through Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., maybe Oswalt can be on Community again, where that sort of thing is the norm.

Is it just me or wouldn’t Patton Oswalt make a great M.O.D.O.K.! Probably not where they’re going with this guest star role, but seeing the promo picture just got me thinking. Patton Oswalt as M.O.D.O.K., come on Marvel make this happen!

I’ve seen enough of Patton to know he can do serious well enough. Granted, his roles TYPICALLY have a comedic element to them, but they’re not 100% of their time spent focused on humor. He was on Caprica and Dollhouse in fairly non-comedic roles, and he was great in both, after all. And try watching season 4 of Justified without feeling something for the guy in the end.

Oswalt would be a great MODOK If not MODOK maybe Mighty Mouse? Is that in this universe? It doesn’t actually have to be a mouse. They just put some big ears on him, give him super powers and here he comes to save the day.
